The McCartney forgeries that have come out of the UK by Adrian Longden often have the hook at the end like this one does, even though they're mostly easy to spot fakes. That may be causing concern in some. Here's a link:

Right, but there are plenty of authentic examples with the hook, so that alone shouldn't be a concern.

Most people haven't studied McCartney as closely or as long as you have.

Agree with Ballroom, need a better up close photo but this looks like a typical McCartney signature

Some of the exemplars that I have viewed are not with a felt type pen such as this. It changes somewhat with what the signature is on and what with. I definitely will default to those of you who have viewed his signatures contextually speaking. Sorry if I added to the confusion.

This site is a learning experience for all of us. It's A-OK to give your opinion, Bradford.

Don't apologise Bradford, we only learn by seeing and trying and we all get a few wrong on the way as myself and most members here can testify to

I'm just throwing this out there for discussion. I used to have a very nice authentic McCartney, but I'm no expert on his writing. One thing I'm wondering about is this: where is the first "c", the one that typically resides atop the second, larger "C"? You know, the little curved line that represents the first "c". It's not there. Does that mean anything? Just wondering.
